Dear Shaded Viewers,
In his monumental 10th-anniversary show, Craig Green seamlessly fuses new-season designs, blending fall and spring themes into a captivating two-in-one collection. The upcoming collection features fall 2023 designs available for purchase, while also offering a glimpse into spring 2024, set to arrive in six months’ time. Green’s effortless mastery blurs the lines between fashion and art, as he skillfully intertwines pragmatic clothing with profound emotional expressions.
Within this mesmerising artistic exploration, Green delves deep into the essence of various ideals, expertly extracting and redefining them to craft innovative prototypes that not only exude comfort but also inspire thought-provoking contemplation.
Among the key pieces are the exquisitely embroidered jacket and trousers, showcasing a tufted technique inspired by collegiate embroidery badges, resulting in luxurious and wearable menswear with an alluring couture touch. Green artfully incorporates padded forms that evoke a sense of ceremonial connection with the body, reminiscent of church kneelers or sports crash mats. The collection’s allure is further enhanced by the inclusion of hooped, sun-faded awning sculptures, which not only provide shelter but also possess an intriguing ability to captivate attention.
In this show, Craig Green’s distinctive fusion of creativity and craftsmanship unveils a collection that transcends the boundaries of traditional fashion, leaving a lasting impression in the minds of his audience.
Later,
Diane
